 Adele,

Yes you are so very correct on your very last point,
this is the only part I agree with:

I am very much so a christian (surprise).

I am beyond holding apples in front of my eyes.

Now I must say that we "should" change the topic here
we can take this one on and on but I have said my

are different.

I must say we can "agree" with that right?.

you have a blessed day,

Kim (aka) Allahundra

please don't let the name fool you.
